Marcus Hilbrich

Marcus Hilbrich is a Professor in Computer Science with extensive academic experience across multiple institutions. His primary affiliation is Chemnitz University of Technology, where he held roles including Assistant Professor, Acting Professor of Software Engineering, and Research Assistant. He also served as Scientific Coordinator at Humboldt University of Berlin (SFB 1404 FONDA) from 2022–2024.

Education: He earned a Doctor of Engineering (Dr.-Ing.) from Dresden University of Technology in 2015, focusing on job/user-centric monitoring in distributed environments. His diploma thesis (2008) explored performance analysis of parallel simulations using the SUN Niagara II architecture.

Research Interests: Hilbrich specializes in distributed systems, software engineering, cloud computing, and workflow management. He investigates microservices architecture, resilience engineering, and scalable monitoring techniques. His work bridges theoretical foundations (e.g., formal methods for workflows) with practical applications in HPC and data analysis.

Publications: He has authored/co-authored over 15 peer-reviewed articles, including key contributions on ßMACH software management guidance, validity constraints in data workflows, and microservices design patterns. His research often addresses interdisciplinary challenges in computational systems and software lifecycle management.

Projects: Active involvement in third-party funded projects like SFC (Cloud Computing for Secure Financial Transactions), ECOUSS (parallel simulations), and WisNetGrid (knowledge networks in grids). His work often integrates performance analysis and system scalability.

Labs/Teams: Central to his work is the SFB 1404 FONDA collaborative research center, focusing on foundational aspects of distributed heterogeneous environments.
